THE SITUATION.
II is the general sentiment tonight af-
ter the result of tO-day's vote on the Sena-
tOrial question that Senator Camden is the
coming man. The addition OF three votes
to the regular caucus vote of thirty-seyen
is viewed as an indication that it will not
be long before there is u regular stampede
to him from all directions, which will in
sure his reelection N q seat in the Senate
fthe United States. As | have already
stated in these dispatches the opposition
of certain Democrats to participate IN and
abide by the result of the caucus nOmina-
ton, is receiving considerable cOndemna-
ton and criticism at the hands of the true
Democracy, and | Opine that they will
will soon fall into line, and aid in strength
ening the party by their united
efforts, as have already 1.-TWO
of those who remained out
of the caucus. Among the gentlemen who
have arrived at the selfevident conclusion
that it is no longer question of Camden,
but
QUESTION OF ORGANIZATION AND
DEMOCRACY,
| mention the name of PeytOn Byrne, Of
Braxton county. He is young man, very
young to be elected to the Legislature, but
of more than ordinary intelligence and
representing n Democratic constituency,
aud desiring, above all things 10 reflect the
wishes of his constituents and preserve
Democratic integrity. lie has after mature
deliberatiOn put aside his personal feelings
and voted "a truly Democratic vote in sup
porting the regular nominee. think it
safe to say that the Democrats who have
remained out of the caucus from purely
honest, but i'll advised motives, will yet
look at'this matter rs has Mr.. Byrne, and
that Mr.. Camden will be elected, and that
by Democratic votes. The friends Of Mr..
| Camden claim that be will receive forty
two votes in joint session tomorrow, and
that it will be only question of time
until he receives the other four votes
necessary to elect him.
THE PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
was the interesting subject of debate in
the Senate to-day up to time of voting for
| q Senator.
Senator Scott offered an amendment to
the resolution, providing for compensation
to those injured by the provisions of the
proposed Constitutional Amendment, but
before a vote was taken on the question
the resolution was made the special order
for tomorrow morning.
The speech Of Mr.. Scott in favor of this
amendment was pronounced the very best
delivered in either house on the subject.
Senator Minear lately offered joint res
olution for the appointment of a Joint
Commission, TO investigate the manage
ment and the condition of the Hospital for
the Insane
o. G. ScOfeld, of Wheeling, came in to-
night. Scoield was introduced to Charlie
Byrne, of the BrartOR Demoerat, in the lob
by of the Hotel Ruffner. As Charlie reach
ed out to take the hand of the 'Secre-
tary," he pleasantly remarked, How do
yOn do, Mr.. Sco6eld; recognize You by
your signature"
The Republicans were in caucus to-
night, ON the situation, but, Us usual, re-
fuse to talk about what took place.
Il SURPRISE IN STORE.
Mr.. Hagans, of MOnongalia said to me

the Democrats tomorrow, but further in
formation could not he elected from him.
